Electrochemical dielectric isolation technique

Plane indicating moats are formed extending through an epitaxial layer into a substrate simultaneous with the formation of the isolation moats which terminate within the epitaxial layer. The substrate is ground to a predetermined thickness after formation of the dielectric isolation and support stru...

Zusammenfassung:Plane indicating moats are formed extending through an epitaxial layer into a substrate simultaneous with the formation of the isolation moats which terminate within the epitaxial layer. The substrate is ground to a predetermined thickness after formation of the dielectric isolation and support structure. The composite structure is inserted in an etchant with conditions set to electrochemically etch only the substrate. The exposed plane indicating moats are used as a reference for a final polishing step.
